Misbah talks about Hafeez and Azhar’s captaincy


Pakistan test skipper Misbah Ul Haq is backing his ODI captain Azhar Ali. In his recent interview on a media channel Misbah said that Azhar needs time. Hafeez has already played a lot of cricket and he has captained the Pakistan side in the past so he is experienced.
Misbah was asked about the cricketing experience of both Azhar and Hafeez. Misbah said that
one should not compare Azhar with Hafeez. As there is a difference between the two. Azhar is relatively young on the international cricket scene as captain. Hafeez has captained Pakistan team for many years now.
Misbah was invited on a news channel after the second ODI ended and Pakistan won this one comprehensively. Misbah was asked a lot of questions about the team and how they have played. There is no doubt that for the first time in this series Pakistan attacked the Australians and took them down. Misbah said that Pakistan did a lot of things right. First their bowling was really good. They did the damage with the new ball as Junaid picked up three wickets. Then Amir was right on the money and he too picked up one wicket with the new ball.
Then the spinners did a fantastic job. Imad Wasim picked up two important wicket of Maxwell and Smith. That was a crucial blow for the Australians. Maxwell was in form and hit a fifty in the first game. He was looking dangerous in the second as well but Imad cleaned him up. After this Smith was playing over fifty runs when Imad bowled him out as well. Hafeez did not pick a wicket but he was economical. Malik came late with his offspiin but he too did not give away anything in the form of runs and bowled out the centurion from the first game Wade.
So everything was so right about the Pakistan bowling. Then they had to bat well and they did that Misbah said. As for the captaincy, Misbah said that Hafeez knows the game really well. He is a senior player in this team and he has some really good experience behind his back. Hafeez led the guys really well and there is no doubt that his own game was brilliant as well. Misbah said that one should not compare Hafeez and Azhar because Azhar is new and his captaincy is not experienced at the moment. He will learn as the time passes so we all need to give him time and just be patient. The results will come good.

Great catches by Wahab Riaz and Babar Azam against Australia

After Pakistan's woeful fielding in the fourth ODI I in Sydney, they wanted to start well in Adelaide. Alas, the first ball of the match, David Warner r edged an out swinger from Mohammad Amir and at second slip, Azhar Ali hurled out his left hand but couldn't make the ball stick. It was a tough chance, but a costly one. Warner went on to make 179, his career-best knock in ODIs. Warner was dropped again, though by this time he already had 130. And this time it was a sitter. Warner skied the ball off Hasan Ali and Amir, running in from long-on, positioned himself perfectly under the ball, only to have it spill straight through his fingers. It was less costly than Azhar's miss, although Warner still added almost 50 more runs from that point. Straight after Amir's blunder, the TV cameras cut to Pakistan coach Mickey Arthur and fielding mentor Steve Rixon. Heads were in hands, faces were long, and no words were being spoken. The fifth and final ODI of the series between Pa...
